The registration is a matter of contention. First registered XA-TDR in Oct 1994 (ex Mexican Air Force ETP-10024), it was "assigned" N48AW in 1998. It is however unclear if it was 'officially' registered as such. For sure the US registration was never painted on and it remained in storage displaying its Mexican registration. Sadly broken up in Nov 2007.

Converted to VC-118A. Civilian registered from 1976 to 1988 then to Mexican Air Force as ETO10024 in 1991. Last known (2023) with Commemorative Air Force as N48AW, but stored at Mesa/AZ as XA-TDR in Mexican AF colors.

With Pat Air Sep 79 to Jun 81. Later N87BL with Aerial Transit. It also spent many years stored at Mesa AZ as XA-TDR.
